Home cleaning sessions take a lot of effort—both mentally and physically. From rusty stains around drains to sticky kitchen floors, streaky windows to dusty blinds, and dirty countertops to clogged bathroom sinks, home cleaning can be a complex and time-consuming process. However, the following cleaning hacks will save you money, time, and physical effort:

1. Set a date for cleaning 
Cleaning every day is impossible, especially if you have a tight schedule. It’ll consume lots of your time and effort and affect your performance. You can make the house cleaning work easier by scheduling a weekly cleaning routine. A thoroughly cleaned home is a task that should be booked in your calendar. That way, with regular cleaning, you’ll have less to deep clean.

2. Tidy your home before you clean
Before you start cleaning, pick up and organize your home. Collect papers and toys scattered around your house so you can reach the surfaces and corners of carpets and flooring. By tidying up a bit, clutter gets returned to proper storage locations, and you’ll be left with a home that’s not only clean, but also less chaotic.

3. Clean with a map in mind
When you map a cleaning route, you save valuable time and energy. You can start cleaning room by room on the same floor so that you don’t overburden yourself by lugging cleaning supplies up and down stairs. Cleaning your home following a natural route will save you time and effort.

4. Purchase cleaning tools to help ease your efforts
The right cleaning tools ease the removal of stains, dust, and dirt from surfaces and floors. Be sure to have a variety of aids on hand to automate your cleaning—such as a high-pressure vacuum to help remove dust, hair, and crumbs from floors; a mop to banish grime and food stains from tile, laminate, and even hardwood floors;  various sponges and kitchen wipes to sanitize bathroom and kitchen countertops; and drain cleaner to help keep drains working efficiently. Having the right cleaning tools on hand will make your work a breeze.

5. Use a multipurpose cleaner
Multipurpose cleaners and sprays are designed to handle all kinds of cleaning tasks around the house. They can handle grease, stains, and dirt from various surfaces—such as mirrors, tile, floors, countertops, and windows. Look for a multipurpose cleaner that’s pet-safe, residue-free, and fast drying for surfaces that smell clean and fresh. You can use your all-purpose cleaner to clean all sorts of surfaces, including wood, marble, steel, tile, laminate, and plastic.
